Yoo Seung-jun’s trip to Korea was blocked again… Defeated in the second visa litigation in the first instance

Singer Seung-Jun Yoo (46, Steve Seung-Jun Yoo from the United States) lost in the first trial in a re-litigation requesting a visa to come to Korea. On the 28th, the 5th administrative division of the Seoul Administrative Court (Chief Judge Kim Soon-yeol) ruled that the plaintiff’s claim was dismissed in Yoo’s lawsuit against the consulate-general in Los Angeles (LA) to cancel the disposition of refusal to issue passports and visas. The court judged, “At this point, the legal interests that should be disallowed by disallowing him are greater than the gains from issuing a visa for overseas Koreans to Yoo.” “It seems clear that from the past to the present, it is causing a great sense of loss and deprivation to the Korean soldiers and their families who risked their lives and risked their lives at the forefront or rough terrain of the Republic of Korea.” Yoo legally left the country in January 2002, ahead of his military enlistment, and then obtained U.S. citizenship.
